PARK GENEALOGY. 

Everyone takes more or less interest in his or her 
name and family. Those who have a family record that 
can be traced back as far as Colonial times or further, are 
to be congratulated. A family record that can be traced 
to a time one hundred and fifty years prior to the Revo- 
lutionary war, are few in number, comparatively, and 
those who are in a position to trace it, should make an 
effort to record it in some permanent form, where it can 
be referred to by future generations, that they may know 
who and what they are. Especially is this so when there 
is no blot or stain upon the family escutcheon. This is 
true of the Park family as a race and as individuals, and 
this work has been undertaken for the sole and only pur- 
pose that the line of our ancestry may be known, who we 
are and where we came from. 

The name "Park" had its origin in the English speak- 
ing countries from two sources: 

1st: — From a follower of William the Conqueror, 
who, after the conquest, was rewarded, by the King, with 
grants of lands in the north of England. He was made 
Master of the Hunt and placed in charge of the Royal 
Parks, and granted the title of "Baronet," and after- 
wards became known as Thomas de Parke. Sir Robert 
Parke, our first progenitor in this country, was a descend- 
ant of Thomas de Parke. 

Among his other descendants are found the names of 
Major William Park and Colonel Richard Park, both 
Companions of the Order of the Bath. Daniel Park, from 
whom is descended the Park-Custis family of Virginia, 
was a near relative of Sir Robert. Parke. 

"The grave of Daniel Parke lies in Bruton Church- 
yard at William's Bay, and his portrait hangs in 
the old mansion at Lower Brandon. He was the 
adjutant of the Duke of Marlborough at the battle 
of Blenheim, and when he carried the news of

victory to the queen she presented him with her 
miniature set in a beautiful frame of diamonds, 
which he thereafter always wore upon his breast. 
It appears in the portrait at Brandon. He was 
knighted for this service. Upon the walls of the 
church is a tablet erected to his honor which bears 
the following quaint inscription: 

Neare this marble lyes 

Honourable Daniel Parke 

Of ye County of Essex, Esquire 

Who was one of his Majesty's Councillors 

And sometime Secretary of the Colony. 

He dyed ye 6 of March 

Anno 1679 

His other felecietyes were crowned 

By his happy marridg with 

Rebekka 

The daughter of George Evelyn 

Of the county of Surry, Esquire. 

hhe died 

ye 2 of January, Anno 1672, 

at Long Ditton in ye county of 

Surry and left behind her a most 

Hopeful Progeny. 

Tender thoughts are suggested by what once was a 
magnificent tomb in Brutok Churchyard at Wil- 
liamsburg, but it is now showing signs of age and 
decay. It covers the dust of two babies born to 
Martha Washington during her first marriage — 
Daniel Parke Cljstis, who was named after his 
father, and died in 1754 at the age of 2 years and 3 
months, and Frances Parke Custis, who died in April, 
1753, at the age of 4 years. The next tomb is that of 
Mrs. Washington's mother, who lies in a corner 
close to the wall of the church. Her monument is 
a pillar of marble, surmounted by a representation 
of a flame which is cut with considerable skill, and 
is no doubt intended as a symbol of immortality." 

2nd:- — Upon the revocation of tlie Edict of Nantes 
(1685) the Protestants living in the mountain valleys of 
southeastern France were, with all (jther Protestants in 
France, compelled to flee for their lives (the Hu^enots). 
The family surname had not at that time become njener- 



PARK GENEALOGY. 5 

ally adopted, and when a name was adopted, it was most 
commonly that of the place of residence, or trade. These 
Hugenots from the valleys, or "Pare" as it is called in 
French, adopted that name, as a surname. They escaped 
to England, and settled in the north of England, and in 
Scotland and north of Ireland. Several descendants of 
these "Park" families have subsequently come to America. 
The Park families of Pennsylvania and some of Massa- 
chusetts are descended from these Hugenot emigrants 
from France. Almost without exception, all of such de- 
scendants spell their name "Park." 

As stated above, the name of our family is "Paeke," 
and as long as they remained in Connecticut, and down to 
the time of the Revolutionary war, they always used the 
jBnal "e," but upon going to Vermont, the final "e" was 
dropped. Of those who remained in Connecticut, some 
spell their name with the "e," but we find members of 
the Connecticut families spelling their name with a final 
"s," or even "es." A final or extra letter seems to fill an 
ever present want, always supplied by the people at large, 
in addressing us, spelling or pronouncing our name, 
thrusting extra letters upon us, against our will and con- 
sent. But nevertheless our true Anglo-Saxon name is 
"Parke." 

Very few families, through generations, have, to so 
great an extent, perpetuated their ancestral traits, habits 
and temperaments. The family, to-day, like in the past, 
are above medium height, light complected, blue eyes and 
light or sandy hair. In disposition light-hearted, jovial 
and delight in practical jokes. As a whole none of them 
now are, nor have the past generations, been wealthy, but 
all have secured a competence, and no one ever heard of a 
pauper among the family. None have sought political 
office or made politics a business, although many have 
held local or town or even state offices. It is now, and has 
been so in the past, an exception, to find a Park following 
any other occupation than that of a "tiller of the soil," 
although the younger generations seem to be deserting 



I'AKK GENEALOGY. 



nature, and the paths of tlieir ialbt-rs, and have employed 
their talents in other lines of industry and avocations. In 
religion ALL are orthodox and most of them strict adher- 
ents of the Christian religion. It has been said of the 
Park family that "the race always kept tlie Sabbath., and 
everything else that their conscience would permit." The 
author, however, has yet to learn of a single member of 
the family, now living, or of any in the past, who was ever 
guilty of the slightest infraction of the laws. It has be- 
come tradition that "no Park was ever convicted of a 
crime or ever held a public office." In these later days 
politics and crime seem to go \vdvd in hand, to some ex- 
tent at least, and the fact that we have not been politicians 
may explain the reason of this tradition, because it is not 
probable that Park virtue is made of any firmer stuff than 
that of others. 

The family has always been well represented in the 
wars of the United States In politics nearly all are Re- 
publicans. One of the oldest living members of the family 
wrote the author during the last presidential campaign, 
saying that he hoped I was .supporting the Republican 
ticket, as he "never heard of a Park that was a Democrat." 

Such are the Parks; honest, thriving, industrious, 
law-abiding citizens; striving more for the good opinion 
of their neighbors, the material advancement of all, rather 
than preferment for themselves or s(^lf-aggradizement. It 
is such citizenship that has made America a beacon light 
of civilization; a teacher in the art of both government 
and war, and in all pursuits the foremost nation of the 
earth. 



FIRST GENERATION. 7 

FIRST GENERATION: 

PARK FAMILY. 

1. EGBERT PARKE, the first of the name who 
appeared in this country, and progenitor of the Connecti- 
cut family, came from Preston, Lancashire, England; 
sailed from Cowes, Isle of Wight, in the ship Arabella, 
March 29, 1630, and landed at Salem, Mass., June 12, and 
at Boston June 17, 1630, with seventy-six passengers all 
told. He returned to England the same year. When he 
again returned is not definitely known, but he was settled 
with his son, Thomas, in Wethersfield, Conn., prior to 
1639. Was made a freeman of the colony in 1640. Was 
deputy of the general council in September, 1641, and 
again in September, 1642. He removed to Pequot, now 
New London, in 1649, where he resided six years, and his 
new barn, which stood on the corner of Hempstead and 
Granite streets, was used as tlie first house of worship in 
the new town, and the call to service was by the beat of 
drum. He finally settled at Mysiic, in Stonington, as he 
was one of the men appointed by the general court of 
MasEachusetts to an official position in the organization of 
the town of Southertown in 1658. He died, and his will (re- 
corded in town book), dated May 4, 1660, was probated in 
March, 1665, and his son, Dea. William Parke of Rox- 
bury, Mass., was his executor. He left his prop- 
erty to his sons William, and Thomas, and Samuel, 
providing he (Samuel) should within a time stated 
remove to this country. He served in the early 
Colonial wars. He married first Martha, daughter of 
Capt. Robert Chapen, in Edmundsbury, England; mar- 
ried second, Mrs. Alice Thompson. They were doubtless 
married in Roxbury, and soon after removed to Wethers- 
field, Conn. We cannot sny which marriage took place 
first; whether it was that of Robert Parke with the mother 
or his son Tliomas with the daugiiter Dorothy. His wife 
died before 1660. Mr. Parke was closely associated in 
many affairs with Gov, Winthrop, and in all of the colo- 



PARK nKNEALOf.Y. 



aial records he is always meutioned as "Mr." Parke, while 
the colonists e^enerally are mentioned by the Christian or 
surnames alone, the use of the word "Mr." being a mark 
of great distinction in colonial times. Robert Parke was 
an English Baronet and a man of prominence in England 
as well as in the colonies. The coatof arms (frontispiece) 
was engraved from the following description, which is re- 
corded in the Herald's College, England: 

Arms: Argent on a pale azure 3 stags' heads 
caboched of the field: 

Crest : A talbot's head couped gu eared and 
gorged with a collar gemmel or, and pierced 
in the breast with a pheon of the last. 

Motto : Justitise tenax. 

Some historians mention an older son John who re- 
mained in England and inherited the titles and English 
estates. This may be true, but a search of the records of 
England would be necessary to establish it, a matter be- 
yond the scope of this work. ,

20. THOMAS PARKE (4) Robert.i 

Born about 1615 at Preston, Eog. and came to Wetli- 
ersfield prior to 1640. Owned lands in Stonington (which 
he purchased of his brother-in-law, Rev. Richard Blin- 
man,) situated on the east bank of Mystic river, between 
the old Post road on the north, the White Hall land on 
the south, and the stone house farm on the east. He set- 
tled there about the year 1650. He disposed of these 
lands and removed to Preston, Conn., in 1680, to lands be- 
longing to him, which at that time was part of New Lon- 
don, and he was recorded as an inhabitant of that place, 
but was afterwards included in Preston. The town of 
Preston was organized in 1686, headed by Thomas Parke, 
8r., Thomas Parke, Jr., Nathaniel Parke and fifteen others. 
Thomas Parke was the first deacon of Rev. Mr. Treat's 
church, organized in that town in 1698, m. Dorothy 
Thompson. He served in the early Colonial wars and d. 
July 30, 1709. 

The following letter written to his brother in Rox- 
bury, Mass., is the only one known to be now in existence. 

In re administration of the estate of Thomas Grifiin. 
Granted July 18, 1661; private letter on file of Thomas 
Parke to his brother William Parke: 

"To His louing and mvch Respacktad brother

FOURTH GENERATION: 

40. ROBERT PARKE (34), ( Robert,^ Thomas,^ 

Robert.i ) 
Boru, bapt, Stonington, Oct. 10, 1697. 
Married let, Mary Rex — 2nd, Elizabeth Benjamin. 
The exact dates of these marriages are un- 
known, but Mary was his wife in 1721, and 
Elizabeth in 1731. 
Died, 1779. 
Lived at Preston, Ct. Was a man of considerable 
property, and was a slave owner. In the marriage records 
of Samuel Mott, Justice of the Peace, at Preston, appears 

this entry: " Dec, 1770, Tully & Phillis, negro 

slaves belonging to Robert Park." 

Mr. Parke was intensely loyal to the interests of the 
Colonies, and served their interests in all possible ways. 
It is stated in nn old family Bible, that "This worthy man 
did much for our independence, having at one time seven 
sons in the army, the eldest being killed at the battle of 
Bunker Hill, whose monument now rises above the re- 
mains of those who fell at that time." (The name of 
Robert Parke does not appear on the monument. The 
nearest is Robert Parker, but as no particular care was 
used in recording names of enlisted men it is probably 
Robert Parke.) 

Whether he took any part in the war personally, 
is not recorded, but it is probib'.e that he did not, as he 
died in 1779 at the age of 82. 

That he took an interest in military affairs i.s shown 
by the Ct. Colonial R-coicls. May, 1767, Robert Parke 
was appointed Ensign 11th Ct. Colonial Reg't— May, 1769^ 
appointed by the Assembly to be Lieutenant of same Reg't. 
This refers to Robert Parke of Preston, but as there were 
others, cousins, bearing the same name, living at and near 
Preston, we cannot be certain, that it was our ancest<jr, 
that received the appointment, but as the Rev. War Rec- 



FOURTH GENERATION. 15 

ords of Ct. do not show any officers by the name of Park, 
it is more than probable that he was the one appointed. 
The Ct. Rev. Rolls give the names of seven or more men 
by the name of Park, who enlisted from Groton and 
Preston during the war, and a number of them in the same 
company. The Cong. Cli. Hist, of Preston gives the names 
of children as follows: 

41. Robert, bapt. July 30, 1721. 

42. Mary, bapt. 1723. 

43. Roswell, { . ^ i or^ noi 

4~t. ti 8,11168, ^ 

45. Mary, bapt. Feb. 18, 1733. 

46. Elizabeth, bapt. Sept. 14, 1735. 

47. Hannah, bapt. April 16, 1738^ 

48. Hezekiah (51), bapt. Apr. 15, 1740. 

49. Dorothy, died young. 

50. Elijah, died young, 

The Ct. Rev. Rolls gives the name of Robert Park, Jr., 
as enlisting from Groton^ 10th Co., upon May 9th, 1775; 
also James, as enlisting Feb. 27, 1777, and discharged 
Nov, 27, 1779.

FIFTH GENERATION: 

51. HEZEKIAH PARKE (48), (Robert,* Robert,^ 
Thomas,^ Robert.i ) 

Boru, bapt. April 15th, 1740, at Preston, Ct. 

Married Martha Keyne (or Kinne), dau. of Thomas 
Kiunie of Ct. (who afterwards removed to Graf- 
ton, Vt., where he is buried.) 

Died Nov. 12th, 1776. 

Lived at Groton, Ct.; was a farmer. He first enlisted 
in the Revolutionary War and served three days in the 
Lexington Alarm List, together with some of his brothers. 
Enlisted again Sept. 8th, 1776, as a corporal, and fought 
in the battle of White Plains, where he is supposed to 
have been wounded, as he died Nov. 12, 1776. It is re- 
corded in the old family Bible of his granddaughter, Fan- 
nie (113), and others, that he was captain of the Light 
Horse company and was killed at the battle of White 
Plains. But the above dates of enlistment and service, 
taken from the Ct. Rev. Rolls, is doubtless correct. He 
was in Capt. James Morgan's company, under Lt. Daniel 
Witter. Jacob and Elijah Park, were also in this same 
company and battle. He was possessed of considerable 
means for that period, owning land and slaves. At the 
outbreak of the war he gave all his slaves their liberty on 
condition they would enlist in the Colonial army. One 
of these slaves, "Prince," enlisted and was the private 
body guard of General Washington throughout the war. 
When he returned, he followed the family and Mr. Parke's 
widow to Vermont, where they rt^moved shortly after the 
close of tlie war, and is buried at the foot of the 
grave of Robert in the cemetery at Grafton. "Prince" 
was married by Samuel Mott, J. P., at Preston, Ct., Oct. 2, 
1802, to Marion, a negro slave belonging to a Mrs. Mor- 
gan of Preston. He took his wife back to Vermont, where 
Robert built them a cabin in what is now Middle Town. 
Aftt'r settling in Vermont "Prince" always went by the 
name of Capt. Prince Park. As to the date of the re- 



FIFTH GENKKATION. 17 

movai of the family to Vermont nothing definite is known, 
but it must have been shortly after or about the time of 
the close of the war. Isaac Park (92) says that his 
mother told him that hife grandfather came up to Vermont 
from Connecticut "with the boys," but he does not re- 
member when it was. Others of the family think that it 
was after the close of the war. In any event Mr. Parke 
was in Connecticut when he enlisted, and was living there. 
He did not go to Vermont. 

The following instrument copied from the records at 
Grafton, Vt., is the first instrument conveying lands to 
any of the Park family, and it is probable that this is very 
near the date of their removal to Vermont: 

"Know all men by these presents. That I, 
Thomas Kennie of Thomlinson, in the 
County of Windham and State of Vermont, 
Yeoman, For the love and good will which 
I have and do bear toward my grand son 
Thomas Kinne Parks of ye Thomlinson, 
do give and grant unto him said Thomas 
Kinne Park and his heirs and assigns for- 
ever one certain lot of land in said Thom- 
linson Being lot No. eight in the eleventh 
range of one hundred and twenty acre lot 
in said Thomlinson. 
Dated July 9, 1782." 
Whether the daughters went to Vermont with the 
rest of the family it is not known, but they probably did, 
as they were younger than their brothers. While the fam- 
ily lived in Ct. tiie name appears, usually, spelled with a 
final "e," following the mode of the old Anglo-Saxon. 
After going to Vermont our branch dropped the "e", as 
shown by epitaphs, deeds, etc. The original name is 
-Parke."' 

children: 
52. Hezekiah, died unmarried, was cast away 
upon a South Sea Island and there died of 
.starvation.

1792, when the name "Grafton" was purchased at auction) 
in 1782, and afterwards became a large land owner. Was 
a man of jovial disposition, full of fun and always ready 
with a joke, a typical Park characteristic. He lived on an 
adjoining farm to his brother Robert, whom he always 
called "Bob." Mr, Park was married three times and 
twenty children were born to him, fifteen of whom died in 
infancy. The following is copied from the double tomb- 
stone over his fi.rst wife's grave, in the cemetery known as 
*'the Ben Burgess burying ground:"

him, she at once proceeded to obtain pos- 
session of her young hopeful; but, not to 
be outdone, Mr, Gibson, without weapon of 
any kind, closed with the bear, and the two 
went rolling down the hill, but the pro- 
digious strength of Mr. Gibson finally over- 
came the bear, and he, with torn and 
tattered garments and flesh, recovered the 
cub and carried it home. The marks of 
this encounter he carried with him the 
balance of his life.

of him by one who knew bim in life: "He was a good man^ 
a smart man, and we thuu.ij;ht something was amiss if Dea- 
con Park was n^t at prayer m* eting." He bought for his 
wife the first "shay" used in that vicinity. Robert and his 
brother Thomas Kinney (Uncle Kituiey, as he was called)^ 
live:! on adjoinin'j: farms. Isaac L. (285) tells this: "One 
time he (Uncle Kinney) was at grandfather's and invited 
father down to his house to see the baby. When they got 
to Uncle Kinney's line he got over the wall and handed 
grandfather a bottle and says, 'Lard, you boy, that is the 
bahy.' In those days people had their liquor as much as 
molasses." Any number of anecdotes could be related of 
both Mr. Park and his brother Thomas Kinney, but this 
history will not permit of space.

Born, Oct. 28, 1811, Graiton. Vt.

David Vore, at Clear Creek, 111. She d.

Second, July 12, 1855, Marie Louise Holmes; 
formerly of New York City, but then of

Died, June 0, 1890; Ma^niolia, 111. 
Gt-or^e Shepard Park was born October 28th, 1811, 
in Windham, county, Vt. a few miles from Grafton. 

His boyhood was spent on his father's farm. His 
8ch«jol advantages were limited. His latin was learned at 
the end of the furrows in the field. By the light of pine 
kriotjj be solved many knotty problems. 

When 15 years old, he first came west, walking 
to Ohio. Here he taught school. He went down the 
Ohio River and turned north into Illinois. In 1828 he 
finally came west, an<l soon after entered tracts of land in 
Putnam county, Illinois. H*^ supported himself by teach- 
iiii.', and later entered Illinois College, Jacksonville, 111. In 
IKii Mr. Park went to Missouri, and taught in Callaway 
county. It was there he united with the Presbyterian 
church. Soon after, the Texas Revolution attracted his 
attention, and he was one of the first to offer his services 
to the young Republic. He volunteered in the army of 
(ieni'ral Houston and enga^a'd in the battle of San. An- 
tonio, from which resulted the seige of Alamo and the 
biirrender of G'Mieral Cos. He was in Fannin's Company, 
and while on their march to relieve the garrison which 



EIGHTH GENERATION. 35 

had been left to hold the Alamo they were surrounded by 
a greatly superior force under the Mexican general, 
Urrea, and after the sharply contested battle of Costello, 
surrendered on the condition they should be paroled and 
allowed to return home. All remember the perfidy of the 
Mexican commander and the massacre of those prisoners 
at Goliad— some 380 in number — Mr. Park being one of 
the three who by strategy escaped. (He escaped by 
feigning death, and under cover of night swimming the 
river and hiding in the bushes,) At the close of the 
Texas war Mr. Park returned to Missouri. Early in 1837, 
before the Indian title to "Platte Purchase" had been ex- 
tinguished he obtained permission to make a claim on 
what is now the site of Parkville. In 1844 he had laid out 
and platted the town of Parkville. He foresaw that in 
time there would be a large city in the Missouri River 
Valley. By his energy, fidelity and business ability, he 
soon made Parkville the trading point of the West. He 
was one of the three persons to form the first Presbyterian 
charch there; helped build its first church and par- 
sonage, and organized the first Sabbath school. He es- 
tablished a warehouse, and encouraged trade and improve- 
ment. 

Oct. 14, 1847, he married Eliza Ann Vore, daughter 
of David Vore, of Clear Creek, Illinois. Three children 
were born to them, William, Emma and a son, who only 
lived a few hours. William died when two years old, 
Fmma when four yec-i,rs old, and Mrs. Park died February 
14, 18o4. 

In 1853 Mr. Park established a paper called "The 
Luminary," and though not as an abolitionist, he advo- 
cated the right of Kansans to settle their own affairs with- 
out the interference of Missouri politics, and took ground 
in favor of making Kansas a free state. In this way Mr. 
Park incurred the enmity of the radical pro-slavery ele- 
ment. 

Numerous threats were made against his life and 
property. 



^ PARK GBNBALOGY. 

April 14, ib55, while Mr. Park was in Manhattan, 
KaiiBHB, a mob entered Parkville and threw the press and 
types into the Missouri river. This mob feeling not only 
put a stop to all the benetits of a paper to a growinsj; town, 
but shut oflf the stream of i migration. 

It also broke in upon Mr. Park's plans for establish- 
ing a c(illef,'e. About this time Mr. Park entered a large 
tract of laud in La Salle ccuuty, Illinois. July 12, 1855, 
he niairied Miss Mary Louise Holmes, of New York 
eity. Th.^y went to Parkville that fall, and Mr. Park con- 
tinued to show his interest in the town. He was the 
leading spirit in the building of the Parkville and Grand 
River R. R. and was the drst president of its board of di- 
rectors. This road was graded as far as Cameron when 
the civil war broke out, and it was abandoned. He was 
also a promoter of the C. B. & Q. R. R. in its western 
lines and rendered the road valuable assistance. 

As he had been an earnest, fearless free-state man in 
the border war, and suffered for his position, so in the war 
for the Union he knew he had to suffer more. He was 
fearless when he was right, and anxious to be found in 
the right. A loyal Union man, he was a target for 
the pro-slavery element, and many times was he notified 
to leave the state. All tlirough the years of the war he 
WHS the especial dislike of the jjueriilas, and one year he 
did not sleep at home a month altogether, sleeping in 
cHvea in the woods. After the war was over the Klu Klux 
KHVH him much thought and attention. But what the ene- 
mies meant f<jr evil, God meant for good. There were 
hair-breadths escapes and many discomforts, but Mr. Park 
was master of the situation. In 1866 he was elected to the 
Betiate of Missouri. In the office he was remarkable for 
his HoundncB.s of judgment, cleHruess, quickness and plain, 
practical common sense. He combined a conscientious 
Hcnee of duty with a firm earuestness of purpose. All his 
powers were made for use, and it was as a practical man 
that he made an impress on his time. He was the founder 
of what is now the f^reat fruit industry of the Missouri 



EIGHTH GENERATION. 37 

valley. He was the first president of the Missouri Valley 
Horticultural Society. 

Mr. Park had a wide ran^e of talents; did many 
different things and did them well. He was eminently a 
conscientious man, and duty was the one constant inspira- 
tion of his life. He identified himself with the people 
among whom he lived; had an intuitive knowledge of 
men, and great sagacity in the selection and use of means 
to secure results, and was a man of uncompromising firm- 
ness in his principles. The dignified and lofty sense of 
honor, truth and justice which he uniformly displayed in 
the walks of life, private and public, marked him as a man 
of no mean birth and culture. 

In his private and domestic relations he was most ex- 
emplary. He loved his family and home, and no sacrifice 
was too great to brighten or elevate his home, was a 
most hospitable man. 

Mr. Park was a persistent enthusiast in the cause of 
education. Since his boyhood it had been his study and 
chief aim to found a Christian industrial school. He be- 
lieved there was no better way to perpetuate our liberties, 
and make our land an ai»iding heritage for coming gener- 
ations, than to multiply Christian schools, which means 
also Christian homes. Impressed by the intellectual 
poverty of the border states in the pioneer days, as 
early as 1834 he was preparing and delivering addresses 
to arouse interest in higher education. In 1851 he had 
plans definitely stated and lands assigned for an industrial 
college. These were overruled by the troublous times that 
ensued. Again, in early '70's, he made an offer to the 
Presbyterian Church for the endowment of a school that 
should have for its object an education to all worthy 
youth in Christian work, and practical training in every 
day affairs. 

Not until early in 1875 was he able to crystalize his 
plans. The schooi— the fore-runner of Park College — 
came into existence April, 1875. Mr. Park was its patron. 
He supplied lands, buildings, and a large per cent, of the 



38 PARK OKNKALOGY. 

living expenses of teachers and students. Better than all 
this, his wisdom marked out the line of work and pol- 
icy of administration, so that when Park College was 
rliartered in 1879 it at once attracted the interest of many 
prominent givers. From this beginning the work has 
never halted. 

Ht' WHS, through life, the constant friend and generous 
patron of the college which bears his name, giving to it 
iiis prayers, thought, time, means, and great business 
ability. By his will he added substantially to these gifts 
and thus placed thf college on a firm prosperous footing. 
The college will long be a monument to the memory of 
Ge(jrge S. Park. No works of bronze or sculptured 
marble will more impress mankind than his gifts of char- 
acter, lauds, and buildings — the foundation and future 
uiainteiianc-e of Park College. He never forgot to look 
after suffering humanity, or to interest himself in the 
cause of education. In these channels, together with be- 
ing a stanch supporter of the Presbyterian church, in 
which he was an Elder, he spent what less accumulative 
men have called large fortunes, 

He was a money-maker, and there was no better 
jndge of land, 

In 1874, Mr. and Mrs. Park left Parkville and made 
their home at their farm near Magnolia, 111, Here they 
devoted much time to reading, and making the world bet- 
ter for their being in it. 

Whatever else in life Mr. Park was, he was above all, 
a Christian. An old friend of his said: "The essential 
fact is not stated about Mr. Park until it is stated that he 
hrlu'vrd in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.'' June 6, 1890, 
Mr. Park quietly, peacefully, passed to his reward. 

No account of the life of Mr. Park would be complete 
without that of his devoted wife, Mrs, Mary L. Park. 
Since their marriage in 1855, she was his close companion, 
adviser, consoler, and co-laborer in all life's affairs. She 
helped him 'point the path and lead the way" to the 
Hatablishing of Park College. She was a woman of beau- 



EIGHTH GENERATION. 39 

tiful, Christian character, of unusual literary abilities, and 
had a rare, kind, kind, generous heart. The fame of Mr. 
and Mrs. Park will be one of after gratitude and blessing 
for the good deeds unostentaniously done. Mr. and Mrs. 
Park were laid to rest in their family burial-lot in Walnut 
Grove cemetery, Parkvilie, Missouri, in a spot over-looking 
the town and country so dear to them while living.

the Mayflower, and ten years later came to 
Plymouth Colony and settled at Marsh- 
field; was assistant governor and held sev- 
eral official positions; Sarah L.'s great 
grandfather served in the Revolutionary 
War as a captain of armed vessels; was a 
sea captain both before and after the war. 
Her mother was a Spalding and a lineal de- 
scendant of Edward Spalding, who came 
to America and settled at Jamestown in 
1619. Samuel Spalding, great-grandfather 
of Mrs. Park, b. 1726, served as Lieut. 
Rev. War, Col. Nahum's Reg., 1776, Capt. 
Read's Co,; was in battle of White Plains 
Oct. 28, 1776. His son Samuel, b. 1754, 
served as a private from 1779 to 1781 in 
Col, Cah^b Hyde Reg., Capt. Barnes Co. 
Died, Aug. 7, 1879, at Dodge's Corners, Wis. 
Mr. Park's education was obtained in the common 
schools of his native town of Weston, Vt., but mastered 
higher mathematics and other advanced studies alone. He 
had taught school before he was 21 years of age. At the 
age of 21, in the spring of 1851, he started for Winona, 
Minn., with a colony of young men, who had previously 
sent an ageut to locate farms for them. When they ar- 
rived they found only sand bluffs of the Mississippi river. 
All were disgusted. The colony broke up and scattered. 
Mr. Park returned as far as Wisconsin and worked for a 
relative at Big Bend until fall, at which time he was en- 
gaged by Oren Haseltine, a neighbor, to go to Blackearth 
and carry on some of his business. It was on this trip 
that Mr. Park first met his wife. Mrs. Park was going to 
Richland Center to teach, and a party was made up and 
all traveled together. Mr. Park remained in the employ 
of Mr. Haseltine for about one year; he then went to Min- 
eral Point and taught a year's school. In 1854 he went to 

Owatonna, Minn.; surveyed and named the city; was one 
of the first merchants of the place and one of the first

County Commissioners and Pegister of Deeds. Was 
married March 13, 1856, and took bis wife to Owatonna, 
where they lived nntil the fall of 1857, when they re- 
turned to Bii; Bend and bought part of the farm of Mrs. 
Park's father, built on it and lived there the remainder of 
his life. He was Chairman of the Town Board for four 
years, and held other town oflBces. He was not a politi- 
cian, but took a deep interest in all matters pertaining to 
the good of his community and state. At the outbreak of 
the civil war Mr. Park had a family of small children and 
u large farm to look after, and did not enlist, but his patri- 
otism was nevertheless as strong as most of those who 
fouglit for the preservation of their country. He hired in 
hU tlu-ee sri-crtlled substitutes, although he himself was 
never drafted nor obliged to go or hire substitutes. Mr. 
Park helped organize the County Agricultural Society of 
Waukesha county, and devoted time and attention to its 
atTairs and helped make it a success; was a life member of 
tbe society. At his death in 1879 he left his wife with a 
large farm and family of children. The boys took the 
manau'ement of the farm off her hands, although the old- 
est was only 14 years of age, and with the counsel and 
atlvice of the mother, they managed to successfully carry 
on the farm and to educate every one of the children, and 
all of them are graduates of the State University of Wis- 
consin except Dora, who received her education at Mil- 
waukee Ladies' College. 

Mrs. Park has sold her farm and is now living among 
her children. Two living in Waukesha, Wis,, two in El 
Paso, Texas, one in Seattle, Wash., and one in Denver. 
She has broui_dit up and educated her six children, seen 
theuj grow to manhood and womanhood, started them out 
in life with what is far better than riches, a good educa- 
tion and good upright characters.

ton, Vt.; m. Apr. 1, 1890, Abner Flint of 
Spring Lake, S. D. (b. Alleghaney Co. 
N. Y.Aug. 29, 1844). Children: Sylvia 
Lydia, b. Spring Lake, July 6, 1893. 
Mr. Flint enlisted in Co. "K", 85th N.

the end of two years he was discharged 
and reenlisted as a veteran and served 
throughout the balance of the war; was 
in the battles of Yorktown and Williams- 
burg (May 3-7, 1862). At the battle of 



EIGHTH GENERATION. 57 

Fair Oaks he was captured and sent to 
Libby prison, and then to Belle Isle and 
Salisbury, for three months, when he 
was exchanged and again went to the 
front. The remainder of the time of his 
enlistment he was in the department of 
North Caiolina and in several engage- 
ments of minor importance. At the de- 
fense of Plymouth, N. C, his company 
was defending a small fort, a mile or 
mor9 from other defenses; the band of 
sixty veterans kept the army of several 
thousand at bay for several hours; being 
overpowed by numbers they made a 
conditional surrender. "Where is all 
your army?" asked the Confederates 
when they saw such a small number. 
The survivors of this defense were sent 
to Andersonville and were known there 
as the "Plymouth Pilgrims". Of the 
whole number sent to that prison but 
six of the "Pilgrims" lived to return at 
the close of the war, to their regiments. 
Mr, Flint spent one year and twelve days 
in Andersonville, when at the close of 
the war, he was set at liberty. Upon 
regaining his health and strength, he 
found that his regiment (the 85th N. Y.) 
had been discharged and sent home; Mr. 
Flint followed and was mustered out in 
July, 1865. Mrs. Flint is a graduate of 
the Mankato, Minn., State Normal, Class 
1873, and has taught forty three terms 
of school. Mr. Flint was a Justice of 
the Peace, and for twenty years Post 
Master at Spring Lake. Their home is 
now Oldham, S. D., where Mr. Flint is 
in business.

death. Here only was he, for the first time, deterred from 
leading his beloved comrades, but for a few moments only, 
when he soon took the lead, shouting, "Come on boys. 
Give them h — 1."

and was a passenger conductor at the time of his death.
